Anchor {Isaac}

Say No

I was exhausted when we got back from searching. I was starting to get a lot more worried about my best friend. By the time we got back there wasn't much time to sleep, but my twin brother found time to flop down on his bed and start snoring. I showered and got ready for school. I hadn't heard off Isaac since last night, he was literally on the graveyard shift making the six foot deep hole for the hunter, Kate Argent. But he always text me no matter what.

I walked down stairs just as I heard my dad talking on the phone.

"The Cemertary. Lahey?" My ears picked up, me and my father locked eyes. "Oh Christ, Ill be there in ten."

"Which Lahey?" I asked him not even before he lowered his arm. I clutched onto the banister, my knuckles turning white.

"The sniffer dogs bought us to the graveyard. Isaac is okay." I started to breathe again. "But last night he was attacked, at least that's what he's saying."

"He's not going to lie. Im coming with you." There was two possibilities, his dad had either attacked him or Lydia had. Then again if his dad had done it, Isaac wouldn't admit it. So it was Lydia and that freaked me out more. Why was my best friend going after Isaac?

"No you're going to school." Dad told me.

"Dad, you either take me with you or ill walk there myself." I shrugged.

"Get in the god damn car." He mumbled. I smiled to myself. I always knew how to get around my dad. "Just like your mother." I grabbed my bag off the table near the door and walked out towards the sheriff car that belong to my dad.

From our house it took exactly seven minutes in the car to get to Isaac. I didn't know if that was obsessive to know or not. But I liked to be precise. I hated being late. It was one of my biggest worries, I always had to know.

The car hadn't even fully stopped when I got out the front seat and ran straight for my boyfriend. I leapt, probably disrespectfully over graves, to get to him. I nearly knocked him over when I wrapped my arms around him. He hugged me back gently.

"You're okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, im okay." He kissed the side of my head.

"Isaac." I heard my dad join us a moment or two later. Then my skin crawled as another person stood near us. Isaac's dad. I removed my arms from Isaac's neck but wrapped them around his waist, turning to the side so I could see my dad as well. Isaac's arm went around my shoulder.

"Mr. Stillinski." He greeted my dad.

"Its good to see you again. I only wish it was at dinner and not under these circumstances." My dad took out his little notebook and pencil from his jacket pocket. "Mind if I ask you some questions?"

"No of course not." Isaac gulped. He was acting weirder. I brushed it off thinking it was just because his dad was here.

"If I remember correctly you work for your father here don't you?" Before he could even speak his father spoke up.

"When he's not in school, which is where he needs to be in the next twenty minutes." I wanted to snap and to tell him to shut up the fuck up but I knew that wouldn't help Isaac.

"Yeah, I understand that. But I've got a missing teenage girl, and our K-9 unit led us here. She's not wearing any clothes, and if she's out here tonight, and the temperature really drops-"

"Im sorry, I-I didn't see anything." Isaac stuttered and I snuggled in closer to him.

"Trust me, if he saw a naked girl outside a computer screen, he'd remember." Isaac's father tried to joke but none of us found it funny. I mean not that I could reply to the comment with my dad right there but I wanted to. I put out for my boyfriend, what was he saying about me? I was prude? My dad ignored him and instead had his eyes on Isaac's darker black eye.
